Cite article:- S.tal~li, S.P.Sihgh (2024). BIO-ECOLOGY OF CHILO pARTELLUS (SWINHOE) (LEPIbbPTERA; PYRALIOAE) AND. EVALUATION OF ITS NATUAAL ENEMIES - A REVIEW. Agricultural Reviews. 24(2): 79 - 100. doi: .
The stem borer, Chilo pertellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is native of Indian subcontinent. The loss primarily due to C. partellus, the main constraint in cultivation of maize, during kharif season at a conservative estimate comes to about Rs. 110.5 crore annually. Present communication deals with review of the work done and advances made on bio-ecology arid bio-intensive management of the borer.
